nissan cd20

The Nissan CD engine is a diesel version of the Nissan CA engine that replaced the Nissan LD four-cylinder engine. Part of Nissan's PLASMA engine family, it was available in two displacements: 1. 7 and 2. 0 litres. They have a cast-iron block and alloy head. It was used from 1980 to the late 1990s until it was replaced by the Nissan YD engine.
The CD17 family displaces 1. 7 L , from a bore and stroke of 80 mm × 83. 6 mm. Built to be as light as possible, the engine walls were made thinner by the use of fins where extra strength was needed, while lateral ribs helped reduce vibration and noise. A new, two-stage glowplug meant that even cold starting times were rarely more than a few seconds....
